Best Ways To Find An Entry-Level Job

If you are a recent graduate or in your final year of post-secondary, you know the feeling of anxiety when you realize you have to figure out what to do after school. Trust us, it is a tough time. Chances are, your school will have resources for you throughout the year before graduation: job fairs and recruitment events are quite popular. The downside? Not all students get the opportunity to be recruited right out of school (although wouldn’t that be nice?). Here are some handy websites to bookmark if you are looking to find a full-time, entry-level position after graduation.

1. Indeed

Indeed is a simple search engine which finds results based on your keywords. You can narrow your job search down to specific cities, levels, and titles. You also have the option of creating an account and posting your resume to the site for employers to contact you.

2. LinkedIn

For professionals, LinkedIn is a network to connect you to others in your field, past co-workers, join groups, and find job opportunities. You can post up your digital resume on your profile and add volunteer work to showcase your experience. Employers can view your profile to see if you will be a good fit to the company so ensure what you are posting directly relates to our professional self.

3. TalentEgg

TalentEgg is unfortunately only available for job postings in Canada, but it is extremely popular amongst students. It gives you the option to search for summer positions, internships, co-op positions, and entry-level positions.

No to mention the colors of their website makes looking for a job a little more glamorous.
